You posted on this board that you had made enquiries re the ownership of the land and mentioned that you were looking for some legal help with the information you had. I would like to mention that the PC had in fact been in touch with Colin Rennie at Fields in Trust in July before you mentioned it on this board.
After your post on the org I contacted you on 22nd August and offered to take your information and have it checked out. I did this and replied to you on 24th August. I also mentioned about meeting up with you to discuss matters further. I then contacted you again by email on 8th September and you did not respond. I contacted you through the org and you responded on the 12th to say that you had been away in Paisley. You said you would read your emails and then get back to me. I had hoped you would contact me again before the public meeting. I didn't think it appropriate that I should hound you as you mentioned on the board that your mother was in hospital and you might perhaps not be able to attend the pubic meeting. The next contact I had from you was at 23.36 on Wednesday 15th September when you emailed me to say you felt we were ignoring you and being rude and that you were no longer interested in our findings and would be withdrawing your offer to help the campaign. I'm sorry you feel this way but I don't have a magic wand to make things happen as quick as you would seem to think they should.
The Parent Council appreciate any support they are given in their fight to stop a new school being built on the Bignold Park. The consultation does not close until 1st October and the PC are in the process of preparing a detailed submission. We had hoped to meet up with you as mentioned in our correspondence to you, and discuss your information further but as you have withdrawn your offer both on this board and by email, then so be it. You have accused us of ignoring you and being rude and I certainly object to that. We took your information on board and were dealing with it. The majority of people involved in this campaign have full-time jobs and other commitments and it is very difficult to organise a time that suits everyone, at short notice. Things were in hand but obviously not happening quick enough for you.
It would have been good to have had on board someone as passionate about the cause as yourself. It is disappointing that you have chosen now not to do so. That is your decision and I respect that. You can of course forward your own submission to the consultation to which I wish you every success.
